FCW,

I do not know what is missing or incorrect, but I do a workaround.

Download the XDA Kitchen and unpack it where you intend to use it.
Get +Que PPC's Mirion Kitchen and unpack it on top of the XDA kitchen.

Then go into "XDA\EXT\HERMES\COMMON" and take a look at all the packages. You will see several duplicates. Just remove the duplicates until it all makes sense to you.

The duplicates are there because different people think differently about all the apps. One man's tool is another man's utility, etc.

Building a bootable ROM after this is child's play. Just run "XDA\erviuskitchen.exe", click on "Load ROM" and choose "Mirion_B1 by +QuePPC.erv"

The ROM you create from this should boot just fine. Once you know it boots you can start playing.

This kitchen, by the way, is my favorite, so far.


XDA Kitchen

Mirion on 2shared
Mirion on 4shared


In other words it may be better to stick to the ext folder i already have and just add the things out of the new one i want to use. yeah i agree this kitchen is by far the best. Ive been using it since 1.4 :)

Xcuse me... DO you have another kitchen on C: called exactly as mine???? i mean... if you had one before mine called XDA and you unpack the mirion of course you will have double packages you know... :p

I dl it again and I dont see anything duplicated... lemme cook the mirion again to see if it boots...

BTW what is that mirrors you put in your post? did you fix them? to add them to the ports post... if not take them down please.

After taking just the sys and rom files for the build and adding them to my kitchen i have a booting rom. at first glance i dont like the start menu icon being on the bottom and the startup animation is a bit buggy but now i can play around with it. my next step is to add the medkid col file to it and see what happens from there but for now its time for a celebratory beer :)

SALUD!!!!

jajaja glad to heard it dude!!! yeah it seems that Ms is planing to get rig of the QVGA forever.... :(

the bottom buttons are due to a Onehanded manipulation and if you had a big screen old WM has a lil unconfortable way to use the other hand to get to the X or STrat this way is fingerfreiendly... :p

it makes sense. just a case of getting used to it i suppose. Also just notice on your release for this you say you need to select the theme. if i remember correctly you can set it to run by adding it in the oem operators folder and editing the config.txt. ive never done it myself but ive seen it done on other peoples roms. also did you make the theme yourself? I like it. im also thinking on seeing if i can get the white box for the numbers in the dialer transparent. i think it would look nicer although it might get a bit fiddly if the colors are wrong for being able to see the numbers. Its somthing ive been considering for a while now but just never gotten round to

I redownload my kitchen and tried the 23037... and im stuck at that white screen... any ideas i didnt include htc animation... but what about the welcomehead.. is not there or is hidden? so any ideas dudes...????

Never Mind i got the error!!!! dont use or delete the EXT package for SRSWOW it make your rom stay in white screen

BTW i use the exec line you gave me FCW but the customization stucks on it... soft reset needed my luck is to leave it at the end so... the soft reset not means much after a couple mins... at least 10 :( it boots again.. maybe i leave it at the user...! ;)

this is the same problem i had with 23034. i just took the sys and rom out of it and added it to my kitchen for 23028. then took a couple of packages from the your ext and the medkid col from your oem. If you want ill upload my kitchen for you to have a look at. im downloading 23037 to try now. it should boot with the fixed ext folder

I know this is probably posted somewhere else but thought it might be useful there as well.

as you all will know there is a bug with the image sizes of the x ok and flag icons in the bottom taskbar. I have downloaded fixed x and ok images which have just been resized from 32x32 to 16x16. I assume this would also be the fix for the flag icon but i havent done this yet as my custom xp version doesnt even have ms paint but for those who want to try the files are classicblue_bubble_flag_disabled.png and classicblue_bubble_flag.png in sys\(build)\dpi_96\base dpi

    !!!!!Setting up the ROM and SYS!!!!!

    First of all:
    As we most know there is a NATIVE NK from Da_G but even if I try to get it working as is... i cant... so Utak3r has been edited the OEMXIPKERNEL and its so good. Thanks man this is Great!!!

    get it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=527454&page=4

    This is just the XIP port... for 21815 build but as we must know:

    OEMXIPKERNEL is the Kernel part that is device specific designed for... so we just gonna use this folder and of course... the "Romhdr.bin" and "os.nb.payload"

    nativeoemxip.jpg


    (so with this info we have the part of the kernel for every build we think to make) keep this files safe cause we gonna use it always. the xip.bin is not needed cause is not the meaning of this tutorial to port the XIP... so the kitchen wil ask for the file, instead that we dont want to port, so use the xip.bin that is on the build 23001 check the pic bellow.

    The MSXIPKERNEL is the build OS specific kernel part... so...

    The kitchen will takes the OEMXIPKERNEL (the native NK by Utak3r) and the MSXIPKERNEL for the build to be compiled, and we could have the kernel complete.

    The MSXIPKERNELLTK folder (Logo Tool Kit) Is not needed, it has just a .DSM that allows the carrier to make important fixes and upgrades to thir ROMs (But even they didnt use it) so we dont need it anymore.


    Well... we gonna set the kitchen with the BUILD 23001 so download the Port from TAI_Sw thanks a lot man! it was a great suport you had to all of us here!!
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=531819
    Unrar ir to a diferent folder cause we need to set this as a base...

    I will use my kitchen as a base to reference... but first i will show you all the folders in SYS that has the 23001... so lets see what we got!

    23001sys.jpg


    Folder missing!
    get it here post #14: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=531819&page=2

    BTW: the adobeflash_Lang_0804 is not our lang so delet it too and replace it with the match lang.

    And we need too the MSXIPKERNEL from this build check it on the pic

    23001xip.jpg


    At this point we must to have this things

    1.- Native OEMXIPKERNEL folder from Utak3er
    2.- Native os.nb.payload file from Utak3er
    3.- Native romhdr.bin file from Utak3er
    4.- MSXIPKERNEL folder from Tai's 23001
    5.- Xip.bin file from Tai's 23001
    6.- SYS folders from Tai's 23001
    7.- Ervius kitchen from my RS upload on first post

    WHERE TO PLACE WHAT???!!!!

    Pay attention on the place you put folders the name of the tree folder will gives you the correct place, so in the pics bellow i set at ""LEFT"" how it should be at finish and in the ""RIGHT"" the tree only for reference.

    NOTE: if you see a folder on the original build ported address that you have miss to organize please ask or read again and see the pictures again. (I dont know what does the folders are for, well... maybe lots of them i knew, some others i dont...)

    FIRST!!!! ROM
    Set romhdr.bin, os.nb.payload and xip.bin
    setrom1.jpg


    Set OEMXIPKERNEL
    setrom2.jpg


    Set MSXIPKERNEL
    setrom3.jpg


    Time to sleep tomorrow this continue...

    Continue...

    Second SYS!!!!!!
    check the tree always you dont need to create folders I already did it!!! just paste the folders on that folders... questions at the end please :p

    Note!!!!! In Newer Kitchens... 1.7 to date, the .VM folder must be set on the following address: """C:\<YourkitchenNAme>\OEM\<YourdeviceNAME>"""" i dont know why newer kitchens cant found the .VM folder inside the common shared sys folder... :( Kepp it in mind!!!

    Continue... next post

    Continue...

    Third EXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    setext.jpg



    Fourth OEM!!!!!!!!!!

    setoem.jpg


    Certainly, the kitchen ask for the OEM_LANG_0409 package and i thing all the others so... paste the whole OEM to this kitchen from the josh's kitchen.

    (NOTE: For other devices.... That folders OEMDRIVERS OEMoperatorspkg,OEM LANG, can get that folders if you dump a stcok rom that is the most recommended if not... you can download a kitchen for your device that kitchen must have this folders)

    Setting the .bat file for Hermes device!!!!!!!

    dibujophj.jpg


    If you make an update from the kitchen i posted(10.4) so you must to edit the .bat file as follow...

    ppchange.jpg


    Lemme introduce y'all the quote of the guy who make this posible... (pp change) you can get from this quote the lines.

    BY Utak3r:

    For all those who can't get pp right:
    Edit your TOOLS\kitchen_build_rom.bat and find the line with implantxip and replace it with those two lines:

    ..\TOOLS\osnbtool -ap xip.bin %pp%MB -y
    ..\TOOLS\implantxip -xip xip.bin -payload OS.nb.payload -imgstart %imgstart% -%uldr% -%nocert%

    Of course you have to have osnbtool.exe in your tools directory

    To end this process lets copy the osnbtoll.exe to tools as follow

    pp2w.jpg


    And we are good to go!!!!

    WHOOO HOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! we finish!!!!!!!!! its already set! so this is the kitchen UI, if everything was ok the kitchen launch without troubles if you saw an error check the folders it says (SVN folders don cause troubles at starting the build proces) SO just set the device, XIP, SYS EXT and OEM and select the apps to be installed or not clickng double. HAPPY COOKING GUYS!!!!

    88704333.jpg


    BTW i edit the build_rom.bat in the tools folder to make it for Hermes there is an option to set the ULDR but i cant figured out how to use it on hermes... the UI may change on every update so...

    try it at your OWN risk IM not responsible for damages to your device

    If you dont know what are you doing first ask to the bigger senior members that creates this before do anything... with this changes i made everything works fine.

    If you cant even reading to understand this download the complete kitchen here:
